There I am, Sergeant David Whis. Ma'am, I'm a police officer. >> Well, he sure is a police officer. And without these police officers, who would kill our lovable little house squirrels and baby donkeys who visit nursing homes? Remember, these are the kinds of police officers who truly believe in their heart of hearts that no trespassing signs don't pertain to them. >> Trespassing side doesn't pertain to law enforcement. Because to them, if your garage door is open, that must mean it's open to the public. It's open to the public. So, they hate you and your animals and feel like your property is theirs. This video right here will make you blow a gasket. I felt my blood pressure going up. I felt the the pulsing on my temples and in my neck on this one right here. Owner of a baby donkey killed by police mourns loss and demands justice. This should have never ever happened. Check this out. >> The owner of a beloved family pet is demanding answers after police officers shot and killed the animal she raised since it was born. >> He was still a baby and he was my literal he was my kid. He followed me everywhere just like a dog would. >> Atlanta news first Alani Laten is live outside the Department of Agricultures office in Atlanta which is investigating. So Lonnie, a lot of questions here still need to be answered. >> So the donkey's owner, Heihaw, she says she wants to know how the officers got on her property and what time her beloved pet was shot. Hannah, the owner of Heihaw, says that she didn't hear the gunshots that night, but woke up to that devastating phone call saying Heihaw was family. The >> farm is definitely not the same without him at all. A family is demanding answers after they say police entered their pasture without permission, then shot and killed their one-year-old baby donkey, Heihaw, on Sunday. >> We are very traumatized and shocked. Like, there's no words. I >> I can't even believe she's holding it together as well as she she is. Anybody else given the right day and the right time might really start taking matters in their own hands. Remember that little squirrel? Remember that squirrel that they killed? Nothing wrong with that squirrel. That squirrel didn't have rabies. And the guy had this trained squirrel and had this massive social media following. >> And the owners of a famous squirrel and his raccoon sidekick are now suing the state for the loss of their pets. >> The New York Post reports Mark Longo and Daniela Bitner are seeking $10 million in damages for the deaths of Peanut, the squirrel, and his raccoon pal Fred. They claimed they suffered emotional trauma and financial losses since losing their squirrel that had become an internet celebrity. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation took the animals in October after receiving complaints they were being kept illegally and were potentially unsafe. Both animals were euthanized and tested for rabies after Peanut bit a worker involved in the investigation. Tests on both the animals came back negative for rabies. The DEC and Department of Health declined to comment on the lawsuit. >> Heiha's owner, Hannah Israel, says police called her after midnight Sunday saying they tried tasing then shot Heihaw because he was running toward them brain or yelling. >> That would been normal for him cuz he's saying hi. That's that's what donkeys do. >> Look at this little guy. How can you I know it was it was supposedly 1:00 in the morning. It was dark, but first of all, the cops shouldn't have been on their property in the first place. Second of all, you know, he had a flashlight looking for there. Apparently, they were looking for this 12-year-old kid and they ended up finding the kid in a in a nearby church, but the kid wasn't even on this property. There's only two reasons you can enter somebody's private property as a law enforcement officer according to the law. That's if you have a signed warrant by a judge that you can produce to the property owner, not just say, "Yeah, we got a warrant. Oh, don't worry. We're going to get it." No, you got to have the warrant in your hand. You got to show me the warrant and what it's actually about, what persons you want to take and what places you want to investigate and seize. Second thing is exigent circumstances. If you, and this applies to anybody, not just a law enforcement officer, if you see somebody who is being attacked, if you see somebody who's in desperate need of your physical help, you can enter onto private property, no duh, and help that person. That's called an exigent circumstance. For example, say a cop is at the door of a house and it looks like somebody is, you know, taking a knife and doing this to somebody. He can break into that house and try to save that person. That's an exit circumstance. Other than that, there's no reason for this guy to have been on the property. And we got a call or there's been a kidnapping or we got a lost kid does not allow you to enter somebody's property. And that's what they did. >> That's just being a donkey. Hannah says they spent an hour. >> Look at this little guy. Look at this. He's saying hi. That's That's what donkeys do. >> That's just being a donkey. >> Look. Look. How How What kind of psycho do you have to be to pull the trigger on something like that? Remember that little dog? That little It was a little Shih Tzu. It was a white Shih Tzu. It was like 13 years old and it was blind and I think it was in Georgia and this cop just just ended this dog's life. And the dog was basically walking away. Couldn't hear anything. Was kind of wandering around. Ended this little dog's life. Was my dog a threat to you or anyone else? >> Nick Hunter, Teddy's owner, shared this video showing him confronting the Sturgeon police officer who shot his dog. >> I see a dog that is walking around blindly. I don't know the dog's blind. >> In the video, the officer claims the dog appeared to be sick. >> So you So you're putting it out of misery. >> What else am I supposed to do? We don't have a freaking The officer apologized to Hunter. >> I don't enjoy shooting dogs. Hannah says they spent an hour searching the entire property with a flashlight, finding his body in the pasture. Now, >> so this tells me they didn't even go to the owner's door. They didn't even inform the owner that we killed your beloved donkey. What the hell? >> By an orange cone. >> Oh, it felt like so long. Yes. And it was so devastating to find him laying there. How are you not How are Maybe she's just all cried out and she's so furious about what the cop did. >> Says she bottle raised Heihaw since birth inside their home. The baby donkey did petting zoos at their Ellbury farm. He never knew a stranger. Cedartown police say one of their officers is now on paid leave after they say the officer shot and killed the donkey >> that was in its own pasture. Police say that officer was assisting Pulk County police with searching for a missing child. Police say the child was later found at a church near the pasture where Heihaw died. >> I cannot imagine the grief and frustration that the tragic loss of Heihaw has caused. >> He should not be dead. The whole circumstances literally say that Heihaw shouldn't have died. And donkeys lived to be about 35 to 40 years old. Like, I thought I would raise my future kids with Heihaw. >> I thought I would raise my future kids with Heihaw, but now I can't. Why? Because a psychopathic power tripping law enforcer who is probably scared for his life, who is on my property shot my donkey that I was going to raise with my future kids, >> but instead he's gone. So, it's very devastating. >> Hannah is calling for better training and protocols when responding to properties with animals. Kihaw's family has hired a lawyer to pursue legal action >> because it's not okay to to enter someone's property and then shoot their He was my kid. He wasn't just a livestock animal. He was literally my child and it's just been devastating emotionally. >> I bet I bet the >> investigation is ongoing at the Georgia Department of Agriculture. The family has set up an online donation for Heihaw's legal expenses. You can find that link on our website. Oh gosh. What is it? What What is it? I want to promote it. Uh donation page. Fundraiser Hannah Israel. Oh, here it is. Oh, no. That's the That's when they found him. I did not see that. My bottle baby donkey. Hehaw. H this right. H that gets you right there. See, I can't even read this. All right. I'm I'm I can't read that. They got Wow. Thank God they got $118,000. But that doesn't I bet she'd give it all back if she could have Heihaw back. I know I would. I'm sick of using the word psychopath. I'm sick of using the word infuriated, but I am infuriated at these psychopaths. Along the same lines of entering private property, I want you to see what this old sergeant says about his presence in these people's garage as he trespasses on their property and believes that he has the right to do so. >> A Montgomery County deputy constable with nearly 50 years in law enforcement is under an internal affairs investigation and a family is now demanding accountability. Video posted on social media shows a precinct 3 sergeant standing inside a Woodlands couple's garage without permission while trying to serve a court notice and claiming there are no trespassing signs don't pertain to law enforcement [laughter] >> after hearing knocks on their >> he claimed I'm I'm in your garage cuz I'm old. It's getting too hot and I felt like I had to stand in front of this fan or I'd pass out. Well, guess what? You standing in front of the fan so you don't pass out does not grant you the right to trample my unalienable rights. Sir >> front door. Christian and Masha Doyle found a Montgomery County Precinct 3 deputy constable inside their garage. >> What are we doing in our garage? >> Yeah, why are we in the garage? >> Yeah, >> I just told you I was standing by the fan. >> The couple said they immediately had questions, wondering if he had a warrant or permission. >> There's a no trespass sign right there. >> Ma'am, I'm a police officer. This is the display of the entitlement mentality that they truly have courarssing through their bloodstream. Look at his face right here. Ma'am, I'm a police officer. Don't you understand that this badge and this uniform truly does grant special fairy tale rights? How do you not understand that? >> There's a no trespass sign right there. >> Ma'am, I'm a police officer. >> He's just He is completely shocked. He's taken aback that anybody would dare suggest that he doesn't have more rights than they do. >> About 30 seconds into the interaction, he introduced himself. >> There I am, Sergeant David Whis. >> Serving them a notice to appear in court for a contested eviction case and making this claim about two no trespassing signs on their property. >> That the trespassing side doesn't pertain to law enforcement. >> Are you allowed to walk in our garage? >> It's open to the [laughter] >> Oh, God. Oh, wait a second. I keep interrupting. We're going to watch this twice. Listen. Tres no trespassing signs does not and it cannot possibly in any universe pertain to law enforcement officers >> and making this claim about two no trespassing signs on their property >> that the trespassing sign doesn't pertain to law enforcement. >> Are you allowed to walk in our garage? >> It's open to the public. >> It's not sir. It's not that >> that is our constitutional right. >> How old would you say this guy is? like 65 or 70 years old. And he truly believes that an open garage door in a subdivision means it's open to the public. If I see your front door open, it's open to the public. And of course, I can walk through it and nobody has any right to say anything. I'm a police officer. Don't you understand that? I'm going to try that in my neighborhood to to all my neighbors. Anytime I see an open garage door, I'm going to go, "Oh, it's obviously open to the pro public. I can just, you know, if there's a if there's a chair in there, allow just pull up a lawn chair, just kind of rumage through their stuff. I mean, it's open to the public. Listen again, law enforcement passing signs on their property. >> The trespassing side doesn't pertain to law enforcement. >> Are you allowed to walk in our garage? >> It's open to the public. >> It's not sir, it's not. >> That is our constitutional right. Video shows the sergeant turning back into the garage, writing something down for another 30 seconds or so before walking back to his car. >> We have rights in this country. It's extremely tyrannical. >> While the Doyles empathize over a hot summer day in Texas, they say this crossed a line. >> It scares me that that is the I guess mindset that they're taking that that doesn't apply to me that this badge I can do what I need to do. Courtney Vincent is a civil rights attorney and says the longtime officer calling the garage open to the public is incorrect. >> The garage itself, especially that it's an attached garage is considered to be curdilage and that's part of the property and he can't enter the property unless he's serving a warrant or has exent circumstances. >> I just didn't want to pass out on your porch. >> Oh, sir, please. >> There's my cell there. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way. The Doyles aren't just offended. They want a public apology and accountability. >> Just because you're wearing a badge does not make you untouchable. >> The Doyles say they've filed complaints with Precinct 3 as well as federal and state agencies. Now, Precinct 3 confirms internal affairs investigators are taking a look at all of this. The agency says it's committed to ensuring all matters are reviewed thoroughly and objectively in line with policy in the law. >> This cop right here should be investigated. >> I'm sorry. This guy right here, D Weiss, how many people has he trampled with this mentality? There's no telling what this guy has done. And really, and I'm not exaggerating here, the sky is the limit. He thought, I mean, and they were recording. He's got a body cam, which is probably activated, and he said on camera, knowing he was on camera, it was open to the public. I can do this. I can disregard every trespassing sign because I got a badge and a uniform. I come with the authority of the state. You can't tell me I can't do that. He's not acting. He really believes this. This isn't about being [clears throat] scenile. This isn't about having, you know, suffering from Alzheimer's or something. This is the mentality that not just D Weiss, all law enforcement officers have. They truly believe that they're above even their own laws while they hypocritically label us as sovereign citizens and gaslight us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as they surveil us with their warrantless surveillance flock safety systems. Let me know what you have to say about this in the comments section below. >> [bell]
